Ten Pop Culture Questions Answered by Vulture This Week

Every week, Vulture faces the big, important questions in entertainment, and comes to some creative conclusions. This week, we delved into such pop cultural issues as: drunken karaoke songs, the possibilities inherent in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Wars film, and the many films of Sundance 2013. You may have read some of these stories below, but you certainly didn’t read them all. We forgive you.

Q: Will fans of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset appreciate Before Midnight?A: Walking and talking in a foreign locale? Check. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy looking older yet just as attractive? Check. Kyle Buchanan saw the film at Sundance and can tell you that you're probably going to love it.

Q: When should everyone have died on The Vampire Diaries?A: Who hasn't pondered this? Writer Myq Kaplan weighed in for us.

Q: Is American Horror Story one of TV's most interesting showcases for female performances?A: Shockingly, yes. And as Patti Greco writes, it's also a show that, despite all the suffering its female protagonists endure, is concerned with female empowerment. Greco picked the second season's most feminist moments.

Q: Does everyone have a go-to drunken karaoke song?A: Yes. Even if you don't think you do, you do. Vulture's writers confessed their picks and asked readers for theirs.
